Bologna are currently fifth-from-bottom in Italy’s top flight, with a record of six wins, seven draws and nine losses leaving them just four points clear of the bottom three. However, they have played less games than those below them so a victory here would see them open up a healthy seven-point advantage in their battle against the drop. Despite their lowly league position Bologna are in decent form having sandwiched four consecutive draws with wins over Catania and Inter Milan. Last Friday’s impressive 3-0 win at Inter will have filled them with even more confidence heading into this encounter, and Bologna are 8/5 to make it two wins in a row and extend their unbeaten run to eight games.

Fiorentina are 12th in the standings, with a record of seven wins, seven draws and eight losses putting them three points ahead of their hosts on Tuesday night. They will be eager to put more breathing room between themselves and the drop zone, and they were doing just that by taking seven points in a three-game unbeaten run. However, that sequence was ended by a 3-0 defeat to Napoli and they are 15/8 to bounce back with a win here, while the draw can be backed at odds of 2/1.
